Does it protect against power surges?

Yes. It carries a 900-joule surge protection rating, which is on the low side but adequate for phones, tablets and small electronics.

Can I plug it into any wall outlet?

It plugs into a standard grounded wall outlet and is for indoor use only.

How many devices can it charge at once?

Up to three: one device in the grounded AC outlet and two through the USB-A ports.

No. Both USB ports are USB-A, so USB-C devices need a USB-A to USB-C cable.

Is it a good replacement for a power strip?

Only for light use. With one AC outlet it suits a phone, tablet and one plug-in device, not a full desk of equipment.

Our take on the Hyper Tough USB Outlet Extender & Surge Protector

The Hyper Tough USB Outlet Extender & Surge Protector plugs into a wall outlet and adds one grounded AC outlet plus two USB-A ports, so three devices can charge from one spot. Its 900-joule surge rating is modest but real, and it is meant for indoor use only. It suits renters, dorm rooms and desks where a full power strip is overkill. Against multi-outlet strips it trades outlet count for a compact footprint and built-in USB charging.
